Come on Em....this is THE fellrunning highlight of the year...and ive saved 21 quid booking a place now rather than getting in at the place i stayed at last year.

As for dancing....SteveS will just put us aaaaaaallll to shame....although Mr Boomrumbleandroar was putting up a good performance.

Re: Xmas on the fells

I'm very upset now Al:(.
Why am I not on your list? There may be lots of bombs and rockets and stuff here now but I was hoping to make it home.....mate.
Besides, by the 19th the tree will be up and decorated, relatives will have been visited and mince pies thoroughly loathed.
Not sure I'm a ditherer, ask Hann.

You won't have a problem keeping up with the running. We go at the pace of the slowest with plenty of stops for chatting and taking photos.

Or did you mean keeping up with the drinking:eek:
